She was Queen Consort so far, which i believe is a lower title. Not anymore, after getting the crown at the ceremony.

Yeah, don't let your mom keep deciding your life even after she's dead :p

Meanwhile the largest annual circus show in Russia has started in Moscow. Let's see if they have anything left to show that's not either 80 years old or broken by now :lol:

It’s so interesting that people mostly choose Valley speak to represent the whole US. It definitely shows the power of our entertainment industry in California. To be honest, it’s a moderate sub-section of the state that talks likes this, and it’s definitely played up for television and film.

 

This series of three videos is very interesting if you haven’t seen it:

OK, just throwing a hand grenade & running away here.  Starting a war on multiple fronts.

 

1. Pizza invented in :USA not :ITA, says (North) Italian Prof.

 

2. Pineapple on Pizza invented in :CAN not :HWI.
 

3. Correct combination is Pineapple + Canadian bacon, not ham.

Used to work in IT at a University.  It was childishly easy for us to pick up this kind of plagiarism, using software that's specifically designed to detect boilerplate & stereotyped text that has already been used by someone else.

 

The first student at a UK university has been caught using ChatGPT after they cited a book on 'Leadership Insights for Wizards and Witches' to write an essay on leadership theories.

 

In what is believed to be the first known case of its kind, the University of Bolton student was failed for using the AI-chatbot to cheat their way through the assessment.

Yeah, the language, education, and communications fields really weren’t prepared for this can of worms. A.I. has pretty much dominated the conversations I’ve had on those subjects in the last two months. Some people are encouraging students and professionals to use that technology, while other groups are standing firm against it. Policy is a bit all-over-the-place at the moment.

Even years ago there were tons of technical support sites that were obviously machine generated. I never touched them!

    • @Josh Any chance this  team replaces the Tirinzoni/Paetz rink for the next OG? 
    • Honestly, I think you guys have a much better chance of success here than we do. It's already difficult to maintain this sport, and with this ridiculous format this year, things have gotten even worse. Years and years participating in the elite and we haven't been able to evolve; it was just a waste.
    • Ski Cross WC Craigleith     Men Gold- Federico Tomasoni Silver-  Kaleb Barnum Bronze-  Kristofor Mahler   First career WC podium for Barnum!    Women Gold-  Sandra Naeslund Silver-  Marielle Berger Sabbatel Bronze-  Fanny Smith   Full Results
    • Another weak result for our athletics team, which is typical; without Caio or Alisson, our chances of a medal in any high-level tournament are almost zero.   However, Juliana's result in the women's pole vault was a great 7th place. She is improving rapidly and still has a lot of room for growth.

    • some changes in the team and less importance to the sport, the two big teams until 2022/2023 ( and ) in south america started to decrease a lot and in the other hand the 3rd in South America () is growing a lot, is really impressive. We are currently the favourites for the LA2028 quota
    • Last few weeks of the World Cup season for winter sports (and Junior Worlds, depending on streaming), Men's Curling Worlds, Saquarema Elite 16, and some tennis   That's it unless I'm missing something, not much going on    Which is a good thing honestly, very busy next couple of weeks.
    • What happened to Brazil's women's team? On the other hand it looks like Argentina may be the top South American team on the women's side. Defeating Spain, China and South Africa was unlikely up until this year
    • These are the teams I think will qualify for the WC this window:           Hoping for some debutants to qualify!
